Removing a Unit Through 3BM

The operating system is notified that the unit was removed. In Linux the
device node associated with this unit is removed. In Windows the Device
Manager will reflect the changes under the disk drives icon.
You can now physically remove the drives and move them to another
controller. If you have a hotswap carrier, you can do this without shutting
down the system. If you do not have a hot-swap carrier, power-down the
system and ground yourself before making changes to the hardware.
If you change your mind before physically removing the drives and want
to reuse the drives and unit on the current controller, just click
Controller.
Note:
Even though removing a unit is supported in 3BM, you can also simply
power down to remove the applicable drives since you are not booted yet.
